RIP  edit: I was so young when this happened, so I didn't have a CD drive/BW Disc for a long long time until I could beg my parents for a new one, which made it even more traumatic... oh man physical media and CDs... thank god they are obsolete. The scratches, the 5+ CD install games, the times where you put in the CD and forgot to write down the cd keys printed on the disc. I did like the huge cardboard boxes they came in though + real manuals, maps, extras. I still use the mousepad I got with the original Max Payne.
reminds me how i still know every single number of my sc cd key. I also really likes the phantom maps, but nowadays only some weird BGH versions with a supply cap of 800 get hosted.

I just jumped to the last page so I am sure you already got the point... but I just had to say it myself. UMS is probably the most popular category still being played today on the public servers!
cheers

No mention of the normandy invasion push map? :< Also screw WWII DIE, WWII TFH was waaay better imo. If anyone wants them I have copies of both too.

OMG THAT GAME
tried so hard to beat it, would always lose one or two people, those bcs at end were annoying as heck.

I have a small repository of maps still. I'm sure the rest of TL could pool together a massive one on dropbox or something but BW... *sniff*...

Bwaha knew someone else here played it, I think I got to a 10% win rate even with leavers involved. You just had to learn all the little exploits and builds to win it.

Oh man just got done losing pokemon rpg with like 4 leavers. Had a bug where i had wartortle and blastoise for some reason, but our pikachu died at the zapdos level and screwed us.

I wish ICCUP people would play more UMS games
Hydra ranchers, zealot farm, poker D and matrix defenses are my favorite
|
I should really go back some time, for those phantom and the thing games
Me gusta
|
Sure! Every now and then I still play Poker and Fastest and even Hydra zone.
But thats mostly because I cant ladder in BW anymore are beyond D+ I just get raped. lol But SC2 is another story!

Hell, If I found my old hard drive, I could do that myself. Probably at least 3000 different maps on it.

Welp, I downloaded some UMS a year ago.
Here you go,

240 maps, well not really 240, some are just a copy of the other, haven't really tried them all actually. Played it with friends using an ancient technology called LAN.

The only thing I hate about brood war is the netcode in it is old as the ages. It lags a lot compared to newer games even like warcraft 3 did a much better job with latency. I still dont understand that high latency option everyone always picked.
|
If people port forward correctly you can get decently lag free games, but bnet latency is still pretty high.

Hey guys, you don't have to say "the good old days". The community has been slowing down a little bit but it doesn't have to if you guys decide to come back on every once in awhile.
Every Weekend I go on and play some sort of Lord of the Rings map and Temple Siege if someone is hosting it
warning, if you're new to temple siege, the community is somewhat elitest, you get banned if your new simply because it tilts the favor of the game a TON. If you still want to learn though (its basically DotA), friend and PM me, "Farmer_Poopy" (no quotations) at US East

Yeah temple siege is excellent once you get at least the basics mastered (speaking of which there are tutorials on youtube to get you started). Unfortunately poopy is correct, a lot of hosts will ban downloaders because one player being newb has a much greater effect on the game than in, say, DotA/LoL.

Bounding was probably the best UMS to ever grace BW. Very competitive and required lots of skill especially if you are not shift-clicking, but I haven't seen bounds in years.
Along with snowball wars, sunken D, marine D, Hydra D, almost all the D games really lol and cat and mouse.'
And almost forgot some BGH PHANTOM.

Whatever happened to Strip Hermione Granger? =P
